We have been casually moving through the planning stages of building a new home for our son. The plan was to break ground in the spring. The contractor we wanted to use to frame and do other parts of the project was not available until then.
He is worth waiting for and we have a very good relationship. That all changed yesterday when he called and had a cancellation. He asked if we wanted to start in two weeks. I have been on the phone lining up the other contractors and It looks like we will be starting as soon as we can get the permits from the town.
There are still so many decisions for our son and his family to make. They had been just looking at one thing at a time. Today I will hand them a list of decisions that have to be made yesterday. This is their first project and so everything is a new experience.
Jane and my last home construction project went very well and we all hope that we will be as fortunate again. I will keep the progress flowing as we try to beat the winter weather.
I have attached a picture of the site. It is ten acres that is bordered by two creeks that flow into two deep ravines with several waterfalls.
The first picture is from the road and shows the three acres of old orchard and the woods beyond.
